Cining Palace was lit up for three whole nights.

Zhong Xiaoshu and the other courtiers only stayed for two days before they all went back.

On the last day, the princes and grandsons led by the eldest princess of the emperor will wake the queen mother's spirit.

Before leaving, Zhong Xiaoshu took another look at the royal children kneeling in front of the spirit, and the sadness at this moment was so deep that even the unruly second prince, the rude and willful fifth princess, and even the young and ignorant Nine Emperor princes were also sad.

At this moment, Zhong Xiaoshu completely felt the sorrow of the death of an important member of the royal family of a country, which really hit the bottom of his heart.

So much so that after staying up for two nights, although Zhong Xiaoshu was tired, when he returned to the house, he couldn't sleep, and he always felt inexplicably empty.

"The death of the Queen Mother is also a major event of a country, and now Kyoto is full of words and little joy, and they have hung white flowers to pray for the Queen Mother. Indeed, it can also affect the mood to some extent. And you have been kneeling for two days, and it is normal to be depressed, don't think about it, when the funeral ceremony of the Queen Mother's Mausoleum is over, I have to take leave to accompany you. ”

Yin Zhige gently hugged her, knowing that Zhong Xiaoshu's mood ups and downs these days were really disturbing, and he coaxed her to sleep with extra gentleness, which was almost comparable to treating a baby.

Zhong Xiaoshu closed his eyes gently, relaxed himself and leaned into his warm arms, and nodded.

"Yes, after the Queen Mother's funeral, you don't have to be so tired. Let's both have a good rest for two days. ”

Speaking of which, since entering Beijing, the two of them seem to be busy every day for an inch of space, busy separately, together, and when they are promoted to official positions, they have a place, but they are still pushed forward, and they are not free at all.

Since the wedding has not been completed, it is better to pay for a "honeymoon trip".

Just as Zhong Xiaoshu mentioned this, Yin Zhige took the opportunity to say, "Then let's go to the vicinity of the capital and climb the mountains and see the mountains and rivers for a few days." ”

This is what he has been thinking about for a long time, and even when he was training with soldiers, he secretly thought about bringing Zhong Xiaoshu to play again, just like when they used to go up the mountain to collect medicine in Longjing Village, they were beautiful and happy.

"Okay!" Zhong Xiaoshu agreed as soon as he pleased, and a beautiful picture of beautiful mountains and rivers immediately appeared in his mind.

finally dissipated a little depression and sadness, and had new expectations.

But before that, the Queen Mother's funeral ceremony will be held.

On this day, the momentum was huge, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were all dressed in plain clothes to see each other, and the long road of the imperial tomb was full of people.

Zhong Xiaoshu, as the general's wife, naturally had to go, and she didn't want to gossip with those noble ladies in a small group, she deliberately walked slower and fell behind.

didn't want to happen to meet the eldest princess and Wei Yuanhou, Ning Shuyan also followed closely, as if the whole family was here.

Wei Yuanhou had seen her twice, and when he saw Zhong Xiaoshu, he smiled and nodded.

This is the proprietress of Wuxianglou, who helped the emperor choose Shen Dacaizi, and there is also the identity of the wife of the middle general, which is indeed worth a high look.

Everyone has greeted you, and Zhong Xiaoshu naturally returned the salute slightly, "Lord Hou, the eldest princess is fine, and the county lord of Anning is fine." ”

Zhao Yuan'an followed her husband's line of sight, although she hadn't seen Zhong Xiaoshu several times, but Shen Xingjian still heard about the poetry conference, and she could know the real treasure among the talented scholars, which showed that she must be a smart woman.

Yes, Zhao Yuanan still has a good impression of Zhong Xiaoshu, and it is rare to see him smile for the first time, and nodded kindly, "Mrs. Yin doesn't have to be polite, today is the funeral for the queen mother, so she doesn't pay attention to any false etiquette." ”

Wei Yuanhou smiled and agreed, "Yes, yes, Mrs. Yin, please get up quickly." ”

When the guard saw that the eldest princess thought that she was an arrogant and cold person, she didn't expect it to be as cold as she imagined, Zhong Xiaoshu smiled slightly, "Thank you, Lord Hou, eldest princess." ”

There was also a county lord of tranquility standing next to him.

Zhong Xiaoshu took the opportunity to look over, and saw that Ning Shuyan had been dignified and self-controlled, without saying a word, and there seemed to be no turmoil on her face at all, but no matter how she looked at it, there was a kind of faint patience and displeasure.

Zhao Yuanan loves her lost daughter the most, and immediately noticed Ning Shuyan's strangeness, and immediately said that she was tired of these polite words.

Turning around, he said to Zhong Xiaoshu in a tactful and elegant tone, "Today's funeral ceremony has a lot of affairs, so I won't talk more with Mrs. Yin, and I will have the opportunity to talk about it again." ”

This is really very face-saving for Zhong Xiaoshu, and he also spoke thoughtfully, without leakage.

Zhong Xiaoshu smiled and said, "Thank you for the love of the eldest princess, today is indeed the first thing to do with the queen mother, the eldest princess, and the lord of Anning, please." ”

With that, he leaned sideways slightly.

is indeed a good boy who understands etiquette and proportion. Zhao Yuanan nodded lightly, and then took the Marquis of Weiyuan and walked up with his daughter first.

Not long after leaving, he met Uncle Qinyong's family again, and Wei Yuanhou became friendly with the eldest son of his family, and asked Zhao Yuan'an to look at him in general, and got an answer, and the brothers walked in front of them together to talk.

As soon as Hou Ye left, Ning Shuyan immediately frowned in front of her mother, revealing a look of "I'm not happy, but I'm not good at talking".

"Yan'er, in front of your mother, just say anything directly, don't have any worries. Was it a little unhappy to deal with those ladies just now? ”

Zhao Yuanan still didn't know much about this daughter, and he didn't get to the point at all.

But Ning Shuyan is smart, and she is the best at making mistakes, so she replied, "Mother, you know me best, you can really guess it with a guess." ”

Zhao Yuan'an smiled faintly, patted her hands lovingly, and told her these necessary rules again, and Ning Shuyan listened to Ning Shuyan again, "But in fact, my daughter is not tired of these etiquette things, but she feels that she should not be polite to unreasonable people." ”

There are words hidden in these words.

Zhao Yuan settled down for a moment and asked, "What do you mean by Yan'er?" ”

"Mother, the Mrs. Yin just now, although my mother is not familiar with it, I have met Shuangshuang and my fifth cousin a few times." Ning Shuyan's face did not change and was arranged behind her back.

"The first time I met her, I was stunned and scolded Shuangshuang and my fifth cousin to the point that I had no power to fight back, and even my kind persuasion was said to be uneasy and kind, the conscience of heaven and earth, that day it was clear that General Yin was happy to move to a new house, so she moved to a street opposite Shuangshuang's house, and then she handed over the post and went in to congratulate and visit her new neighbor."

Bowing her head and choking aggrievedly, as if she recalled the unbearable insults of the day, Ning Shuyan said, "My daughter has never seen such a scoundrel and skinny person, I have heard that this lady is from the countryside." It's not that I'm biased, but this Mrs. Yin really has a sharp mouth! ”
